{Award Winning} “Crack Dip”

This dip is deliciously addictive! Creamy dip with a little bit of heat from the jalapeños, bursting with flavor from the MexiCorn and the green onions. This is a hit and the first thing gone at every party — It isn’t “award winning” for nothing!

For my Mother in Law’s birthday we had a pool party, and everyone brought something. This {Award Winning} Crack Dip showed up on the table and everyone went CRAZY for it! My nephew’s girlfriend, Barbie, had brought it over, receiving the recipe while they had vacationed this past summer.

I said to her, “What is IN this stuff? I can’t stop eating it!” She rattled off some crazy ingredients, and said “It’s so good, and you can’t stop eating it. Everyone loves it, that’s why it’s called Crack Dip, I guess!”

She texted me the recipe right after the party, I had it saved in my phone, only to get a new phone, and lost it. Once again she texted me the recipe, and I knew when I was invited to a party last weekend, exactly what I was bringing!

I was invited to my one of my youngest daughter’s close friends home, where her mom was having a girl’s night for Christmas. We were asked to bring a cocktail, a dessert or an appetizer. She said there would be a fun contest with a winner for each category voted on by the women in attendance. Each category would receive a prize.

We had just watched The Grinch earlier this week and have been doing quotes and laughing. I immediately said, “Award? There’s and Award?”

I took the dip and it won for the best appetizer. I had to come home and tell Barbie that it won. She said her Mom had taken it to work earlier that week for a pot luck and everyone wanted the recipe. This one here is a winner friends, you have to try it!

I mean, after all, it’s “Award Winning!”

Add all of the ingredients to a big bowl — stir to combine.

This recipe calls for MexiCorn. You can find it in one of two places in your market, right by the regular canned corn, or in the Ethnic/Hispanic food section.

Once the dip is combined, cover it and place it in the refrigerator over night — for a whole day is even better. Trust me — it gets so much tastier as the flavors all combine.

Serve with tortilla chips for dipping. Watch it DISAPPEAR.

{Award Winning} "Crack Dip"

This dip is deliciously addictive! Creamy dip with a little bit of heat from the jalapeños, bursting with flavor from the MexiCorn and the green onions. This is a hit and the first thing gone at every party -- It isn't "award winning" for nothing!

Prep Time24 minutes

Total Time24 minutes

Ingredients

2 (11 ounce) cans Mexicorn, drained

1 cup real mayonnaise

1 cup real sour cream

Tops of 3 bunches of green onions, sliced

1 (4.5 ounce) can green chilies, diced

1/3 cup of jalapenos (the jar kind), chopped

8 ounce package of Shredded Mexican Blend cheese

Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

Combine all of the dip contents together and place in the fridge. I suggest making it 12 hours ahead, or even the day before. The flavors just keep getting better and better! Serve with tortilla chips!

Sweet Crap! I just made this… I cannot stop eating it! LOL I can’t wait to experience the flavor after 12 hours, if its already this good! This definitely requires a double batch going forward, so I can have some at home AND take to whatever event I will be making it for!!!
Thanks so much!

Brooke, maybe add more jalapenos? Or just omit them all together? I think Mexicorn might have chilies too? Might want to double check that. If you try it, without, I would be curious to hear what you think? I am sure it would still be good!

I just made this. I accidentally forgot the green chilies when I went grocery shopping…Oops! I just added about an 1/8 cup extra jalapenos. It is delicious!! Can’t wait to try it again with the chilies though. 🙂

Down in Alabama we make crack dip a little differently. We brown ground sausage, melt cream cheese and drain a can of rotel and stick it all in the crock pot and serve with corn chips. This sounds amazing as well though.

This dip is amazing! I just made it for a tailgate tomorrow, but I’m afraid there may not be any left by then – I can’t get myself away from it! I always change up recipes based on what I have around, so I used three cans of Mexicorn, extra jalapeños (but they were mild), and only one bunch of green onions. I may serve it warm tomorrow, but I LOVE that it is so delicious cold, because then I don’t have to worry about keeping it warm!

It’s really not spicy — the creaminess of the dip takes away from it, and if you can eat canned jalapenos you would be good. I would say if 10 were spiciest, I’d say 2 or 3. (that is even coming from my daughter who doesn’t handle much spice.) It’s more onion flavored than spice.

I’m so bummed I didn’t read the comments before I made this- I did not drain the green chillies or jalapeños and it is super spicy! Can you think of anything I could do to reduce the heat? I doubled the batch so I have a TON of this “crack” that I’m afraid will go to waste! 🙁
Thanks

Sarah- I think if you added more of the creamy part (mayo and sour cream) that could help? Maybe try in part of it? It’s hard to define spicy to so many people, we don’t find this dip spicy. I think it just varies. I hope this helps, it really is a good dip! 🙂

This is probably one of the best dips I have made and served. Everyone who has tried it, absolutely loves it. Its now requested every time my friends and I get together. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.

After reading all the rave reviews about your Crack Dip, I made it last night. So easy to make and absolutely amazing. Followed the recipe exactly except had to substitute southwest corn for the mexicorn because my store didn’t carry that. We didn’t find it spicy at all. It’s so nice to have a different dip other than spinach, artichoke, etc. I’m making this for a bridal couples shower in 2 weeks so hope it’s a hit! Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes. Thanks for sharing.

Making it for the 4th, hope I have the right size ingredients , have 2 8oz cans. Of mexicorn and I 4 oz can of chiles don’t want to mess this up, had it last week at a party and couldn’t stop eating it.

I just googled best dips, because I’m a dip-oholic and this was the second one to come up! I make something similar, I use fresh corn off the cob, and no jalapeños, and it is always a hit! It is like crack!!! It’s a great topping for chili and tacos! I just love it!

We have a Halloween Party to go to Saturday and I wanted to bring something new. We are all bringing appetizers. I went on line and found your recipe. Made it yesterday (Wednesday) to make sure we liked it and was going to make it again Friday. We LOVED it! Delicious! But it was just my husband and I so I have plenty left and wanted to know whether you thought I should make a fresh batch on Friday. It has been in the refrigerator since yesterday afternoon.

I’ve made this twice in the last few months. Just made it again for a party tomorrow night and almost had to break my husband’s hand to keep him out of it! This dip is AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing it with the world!

Here it is, Thanksgiving morning and I am attending a friend’s giving today. I usually bake desserts to take but I had no time this week. I needed something besides wine. I found this recipe, quick trip to the store and quickly combined the ingredients. A spoonful to taste…..DELICIOUS!!! It’s only going to get a couple of hours to chill but I think it will be fine. I did drain all the canned and jarred ingredients prior to combining.
I’m excited to see what kind of reaction this recipe gets. Thank you for sharing!!

O.K… I’m going to get into serious trouble when I make this because I don’t think I’ll be able to stop eating it! But it’s worth the “risk.” 🙂 Love the recipe – and the story that goes with it! Can’t wait to taste it!

Excellent recipe. Thanks for sharing! The 2nd time I made this recipe I was doing it from memory and for some reason got confused and put in a package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix by mistake. Oh, my! It was even better. YUM. Thanks so much for the recipe.

Can you please tell me what you mean by 3 ” bunches” of green onion?? In my store they come in bags of 10-12 In each. 3 of those would be ALOT! How many green onions in a ” bunch”??? In your video it didn’t look like alot of onion. Thank you

When you say three Bunches of green onions, what do you consider a bunch? Is one bunch the whole thing wrapped together from the store or is a bunch the onions that stem from one bulb? Hard to explain but I don’t want to use too many.

Does this dip still taste good after 2 days of sitting in the fridge? I made it last night for a work party we were supposed to have today but there ended up being a snow day, so the party has been moved to tomorrow.

[…] A couple of years ago, I went to a little Christmas party, held by one of my daughter’s friend’s moms. She said that everyone was to bring an appetizer, and at the end of the night, we would vote on which we liked the best. The top three won prizes. I knew just what to bring. My nephew’s girlfriend had brought a dip over to our house that summer for a pool party. She called it “Crack Dip” and the moment I tasted it, I knew why. Sure there are a lot of dips named “Crack Dip” on the web. But I couldn’t change the name. Well, that was until it was voted the best at the party, and I accepted my “award.” Prize, award, call it what you want. I had taken first place. Since then, that dip had always been called {Award Winning} Crack Dip. […]
